Desmond Connor of the Hartford Current writes that the Nets should trade Keith Van Horn, but will there be any takers?

The Nets had a great season and it?s up to GM Rod Thorn to keep the forward momentum going by making the right decisions. The first thing Thorn must do is unload soft, inconsistent forward Keith Van Horn.

Sure, Van Horn helped get the Nets past the Celtics, but he was pretty quiet after that. Van Horn seems to lack enthusiasm some of the time and heart a lot of the time. And he has four years remaining on a six-year, $74 million contract. Seventy-four million! The Nets need more consistent production fro their small forward position. The question is, given his weak overall performances at critical times, who is going to want him?

So, the Nets need a small forward. They need a point guard to relieve Jason Kidd. But most of all they must keep Kidd. Simply put, he was their savior. And unless the Nets want to have a modern day Dr. J situation on their hands, they should find a way to keep him. Kidd has said he likes New Jersey. He also has said he will test the free agent market after next season.

Thorn brought Kidd to New Jersey. They love him in the Garden State for that. They'll love him even more if he can keep Kidd and dump Van Horn.
